About The WHRO Voice
The WHRO Voice is a radio reading service that provides what national radio and TV news coverage can't: the flavor of a community's life that's best represented in the local sections of a newspaper. The Voice began in a makeshift studio in a trailer under the leadership of the late Peter Pine, with eight volunteer readers. The service was then - as it is now - offered free of charge. Today the Voice operates out of a fully equipped FM broadcast studio that's named for Mr. Pine, and boasts more than a thousand receivers in use throughout Hampton Roads.
